Westwood Park Memorial Garden
Location: Within Westwood Park
The Garden is nestled within a natural cluster of white and scotch pines overlooking the 3 acre pond. This setting was improved with the addition of 2,000 square feet of interlocking paving stones, a host of shrubbery and numerous perennials. It has been designed to be a place of solitude, comfort and reflection.
Residents are welcome to have the name of a loved one permanently etched into a paver for a moderate fee. These fees are extremely reasonable in comparison to other projects. Fees derived will be put into a special fund for maintenance and future expansion.
